This is a great accent chair for a smaller space or person. My husband is 6'4" and he looks rather silly sitting in the chair, but it is perfect for me at 5'1" even though it has a lower back rest. The fabric and cushions are really comfortable but seem durable. The shipping box we received the chair in was badly beaten up but the chair was packed very well it wasn't damaged at all. It came fully put together except for the feet which were screwed on by hand (no tools required). We got the taupe chair and the color in the picture is spot on. Overall, I love the chair and think that it is a great addition in a neutral tone to any space.
